Will - While not wishing to prolong this, thread, that exactly is my point -
Section 200 of the RCL has an exception for decisions in the province of a

Arguably, a board of directors ( or a court) of a congregation incorporated
under the NPCL may therefor override decisions of the "spiritual officer."
